    I'm hoping that whenever this thing works the rewards are actually worth it

    cause if I send STINGANDAMISS and it's not good I won't be happy

    just give us the code or something
    the hidden code that we must put in at the Summoners Market is just bull
    why do hidden codes than just announce it

    we just got kabamed again 🍒
    giveaway code for 5 people - kabam is aiming at this amount of people playing their game in the future obviously - small indie company

    Who said the codes are for 5 people?
    They said the promo codes were limited to the amount of ppl and they said 2 not 5 like the other person put why they said you need to put on your detective hats and probly why ppl are getting thst error code cause the max amount of ppl already redeemed them

    Why do you guys treat your players like trash man I don’t get it. Why do you hate us so much. Why is it so hard just to give every player a prize. Disgusting behavior and then you come on here and say we will take feedback like honestly what a slap in the face. Disgusting people man

    Not in their DNA, they were a horrible company before MCOC.

    Kabam, 10 years and it seems you don't know your community. Its one of the most entitled communities out there, you can't give secret promocodes to 2 people without having everyone thinking they were the first to put it in...

    I watched the whole thing I don't remember them saying 2 people. They said 2 codes but not 2 people.

    Will def be taking the feedback. Idea with them is to add a fun additional layer of activity and engagement with the stream....did not anticipate twitch not having the drops on, kind of changed the equation a bit. Regardless though, appreciation the feedback

    So this makes it what, the 4th time since Twitch drops have been introduced and the 4th time they haven't worked correctly?

    How many times do you guys have to fail to realize that something needs to change?
    I wanna push back on this slightly. It is true that some players had issues with drops previously. However, from what we can see the majority of folks were able to collect twitch drops without an issue in previous iterations. The (still important) minority that had issues is something we want to work to improve on, but fundamentally the system worked.

    This time the campaign was not live at the correct time, which is a separate issue and one we will review and make sure is corrected.

    Ultimately, codes or drops need to have a purpose behind them for us to justify giving them away. We want to work towards giving better rewards but for that to happen we need a system like drops that rewards folks specifically for watching, not just entering a code. There have certainly been roadbumps along the way but its a system we're committed to working with and improving on.

    I appreciate the feedback and understand the frustration, but just wanted to lay out our perspective here. Thanks
    For the love of god please just make it a promo code on the website - that's what the playerbase wants. I feel bad for all the people who have been waking up early in the morning to leave the Twitch stream running so that they can get the same rewards that players who live in the "correct" timezone get - which isn't equitable.

    I know your KPIs are important but the trade-off is player goodwill..

    This was my first time trying a code. So what's the issue then? Has the code expired?

    There's a lot of confusion right now. We don't know how many people it was for, if it's the right code or anything.
    What they confirmed in the stream it was the right code they kept on repeating it at the end abd it was only for the first 2 ppl

    Unpopular Opinion:
    What is the point of promo codes?.. just make an event put the prizes in there. Stick to the giveaways... Promocodes is an avoidable headache. What is even the point of a limited hidden promocode. Just do a raffle and 2 lucky people get it. I don't know why they need to complicate things.

    And this is unpopular because???

    You want them to make promo codes for the website to encourage twitch stream viewership?

    You say "that's what the playerbase wants." No it is not. Half the playerbase (if not more) doesn't even use the webstore, and would still be left out. What the playerbase wants is for the rewards to just automagically appear in their accounts without having to do anything or go anywhere.

    Everyone says the line is drawn wrong, and should be drawn somewhere else instead. And coincidentally, it is always just behind their feet when they do.

    Full disclosure: the streams start at 6AM local time for me, so I'm mostly missing out on everything in them myself. I would prefer not to, but I understand encouraging people to tune in. I would hope the playerbase has enough adults in it who see it the same way.

    There’s already a raffle in the stream, this week for 5 titans and 5 choice champ (7*) between spider woman and Lumatrix. 10 names get drawn from a hat. They didn’t need to make the promo codes one too

    Promo code is not so much a raffle as it is which players are chronically on the website entering every word they say which could potentially be a code first

    New code is twitchdropcomp
  • ArmoredGhostArmoredGhost Member Posts: 279 ★★★
    I thought the point of the engagement was that there are secret codes and the community works together by trying a lot of different ones and then tells everybody. But instead only a few people get it?

    Wouldn't this just make people very angry?

    Wouldn't a better way to do it be that everyone gets to redeem the code but only the first few get a slightly better reward for finding it first? That way everyone is happy. If it's complicated to have one code do that just make two codes. 1 for the people who find it first and one for the ones who come later.

    Feedback taken. Our original intent here was to offer Something for all viewers ( Twitch Drops ), and limited avenues for players to win valuable prizes (Currently there's 5 Titan Crystals, 5 Champion Choice Giveaways ). Secret codes were meant to give another limited avenue for people to win something aside from the raffle style giveaways.
